Our Goal at Brickstone is to be Africa’s Infrastructure Catalyst

Brickstone was founded by Femi Awofala in 2009 in conjunction with a team of professionals having vast commercial and financial management experience range from sourcing, technical and financial project finance feasibility assessments, over commercial and contractual negotiations, to sourcing, developing, closing and delivering equity, project/ corporate finance and other contractual structures across major infrastructure projects within Europe, Australia and Sub-Saharan Africa.

Brickstone believes Africa presents an attractive investment opportunity for investors seeking attractive and long-term risk adjusted returns. Despite the Energy, Infrastructure and Real Estate markets in Africa having high and stable returns, only a few institutional advisors under this risk and ability to mitigate them. Brickstone is the “catalyst” Africa has been looking in quicken its gap in its infrastructure deficit, while providing the quality project development and acceleration service

Brickstone Advisory & Acceleration Model

The type of Projects we advise or help accelerate must typically meet the following objectives

Projects that are characterized by a high degree of revenues predictabilityunder a (partial or full) Contracted Revenue Arrangement with a creditworthy counter party

Projects which are to be delivered under a fixed construction price and schedulewith a Building (or EPC) Contractor with appropriate penalties in the form of liquidated damages (LDs)for its failure to perform

Projects which are toindependentlyoperate and be maintained in an environmentally sustainable manner during post-construction phase

Brickstone would only ONLY interested in projects that meet at least No1 and either No 2 or/and No 3

Brickstone has a crafted “catalyst based” accelerator program that enables founders to speed up the infrastructure development cycle, de-risk theirproject much further to make bankable, and implement practices that allow them to scale their processes while managing the other responsibilities they have as a founder. Under this format, sector specific training programmes are delivered in half or full day sessions over a period of 12 weeks, covering one or more topics in much greater detail.
